Haymeadow Pond Fishing in Essex County, New York

• Overview

  Haymeadow Pond is one of the Essex County listings for New York. The water sits 1,657 feet up. About 11 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Nearest place of any size is Ticonderoga, 5.3 miles away. Crown Point is 9.3 miles away, with Bridport at 15 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Haymeadow Pond

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Survey and observation records for Essex County include brown trout, brook trout, white sucker, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Take Haymeadow Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 67°F at the top of summer and 17°F at the bottom of winter. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at early December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. The season on Haymeadow Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Lost Pond is 1 mile distant. Rules at Haymeadow Pond are worth checking on the day.
